Spray Bottle And Refill Pack Assembly

Abstract

A bottle and refill pack assembly comprising an outer carton, a bag assembly and a bottle. The outer carton defines a cavity. The cavity includes a separator member which divides the cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber. The bag assembly is positioned within the first chamber. The bag assembly has a spout and a dispenser. At least one of the spout and dispenser is extendable through an opening in the outer carton to allow the dispenser to be actuatable outside of the cavity. The bottle is positioned within the second chamber. The bottle may comprise a spray bottle.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bottle and refill pack assembly comprising:
 a bottle comprising:

 a removable member sealing the opening; and 
   a refill pack assembly comprising:
 a bag having at least one panel with at least one seal, defining a substantially fluid tight cavity, with a dispenser associated with the at least one panel providing access to the cavity, toward the selective dispensing therefrom; 
 an outer rigid container including a plurality of walls to define a container cavity, the container cavity having a first chamber and a second chamber, the first chamber separated from the second chamber by the separator member; 
   wherein the bag is positioned within the first chamber of the outer rigid container, and the bottle is removably positioned within the second chamber of the outer rigid container, the first chamber having an opening configured to retain at least one of the spout and the dispenser to facilitate the dispensing of a fluid from within the bag to the bottle.   
     
     
         2 . The bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 1  wherein the outer rigid container further includes at least one window portion extending about at least one of the plurality of walls corresponding to the second chamber. 
     
     
         3 . The bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 2  wherein the at least one window portion includes at least one window portion on at least two of the plurality of walls corresponding to the second chamber. 
     
     
         4 . The bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 3  wherein the at least one window portion includes at least one window portion on at least two of the plurality of walls in a continuous configuration. 
     
     
         5 . The bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 3  wherein at least a portion of the body of the bottle is visible through the window portion. 
     
     
         6 . The bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 5  wherein a clear film is disposed over the window portion, to, in turn, at least partially cover the same. 
     
     
         7 . The bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 1  wherein the opening in the outer rigid container is on a wall opposite from the separator member. 
     
     
         8 . The bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 1  wherein the outer rigid container comprises a rectangular cubic configuration including a bottom wall, a top wall opposite the bottom wall, a first side wall and a second side wall opposite the first side wall, and a front wall and back wall opposite the front wall, the separator member extending between the first side wall and the second sidewall spaced apart from each of the front wall and the back wall. 
     
     
         9 . The bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 8  wherein the separator member is substantially parallel to each of the front wall and back wall, thereby defining the first chamber and the second chamber. 
     
     
         10 . The bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 9  wherein the separator member is positioned closer to the back wall than the front wall, to in turn, render the first chamber larger than the second chamber. 
     
     
         11 . The bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 8  wherein the bottle is positioned in an upright configuration within the second chamber, with a base thereof positioned on the bottom wall. 
     
     
         12 . The spray bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 1  wherein the removable member comprises a spray mechanism coupled to the opening, the spray mechanism structurally configured to withdraw and dispense fluid from within the cavity of the bottle. 
     
     
         13 . The bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 12  wherein the outer container further includes a reclosable portion corresponding to the second chamber, to selectively allow access to the second chamber, independent of the first chamber, to, in turn, allow for the storage and access to the bottle selectively. 
     
     
         14 . The bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 8  wherein the top wall further includes at least one handle structure structurally configured to facilitate grasping and handling thereof. 
     
     
         15 . The bottle and refill pack assembly of  claim 13  wherein access to the first chamber is permitted solely to the opening configured to retain at least one of the spout and the dispenser. 
     
     
         16 . A method of dispensing a flowable material comprising the steps of:
 providing a refill pack assembly including an outer rigid container and a bag having a flowable material positioned therein, the bag having a dispenser configured to dispense flowable material therefrom, the outer rigid container including a first chamber and a second chamber, with the bag positioned within the first chamber, the outer rigid container further including an opening providing ingress into the first chamber;   providing a bottle having a body within the second chamber;   directing the dispenser through the opening in the outer rigid container, to in turn, direct at least a portion outside of the first camber;   removing the bottle from the second chamber;   filling the bottle with a flowable material from the bag through the dispenser outside of the first chamber; and   dispensing the flowable material from within the bottle.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16  further comprising the steps of:
 refilling the bottle with the flowable material from the bag through the dispenser outside of the first chamber after the step of dispensing the flowable material from within the bottle. 
 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16  further comprising the step of:
 storing the bottle within the second chamber after the step of removing the bottle from the second chamber. 
 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16  wherein the outer rigid container further includes a window portion providing visual access to the second chamber, the method further including the step of:
 inspecting the bottle through the window portion. 
 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19  wherein the bottle includes a body and a spray mechanism separately positioned therefrom, the method further includes the step of:
 coupling the body to the spray mechanism.
